[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Sickbay]Glancing over his shoulder, Riyo gave a nod to the nurse who had been standing by, and she left the room to retrieve a nicu bed just in case. He turned his attention back to Greg and Brooke, and gave them a reassuring smile. "Next you get to meet your baby. If the hormones work, you'll be ready to push in a few minutes and everything will go as planned. If they don't, then we'll use a fetal transport before either of you go into distress." Childbirth was always a dangerous thing, regardless of species, but modern medical technology certainly made it easier to circumvent the danger before it arose.

[ Brooke - Primary Sickbay, Front Ear] Brooke honestly didn't know how she would of gotten through this if Greg was still in Starfleet, even without the apparent complications that were now arising. It had been bad enough to go over her due date but she could never of imagined that things would change so dramatically once she was finally in labour. Greg abandoning the padd to give her extra reassurance was so needed and welcomed, especially with the thoughts that now dominated her mind, along with the continued pressure and pain that her body was going through. Even the way he brought her hand to his lips after asking Riyo what the next step was, resulted in Brooke giving her husband a smile. His reminder that they were in the best place also went some way in quelling some of her fear over what they had been told. " We are" she murmured back, knowing that he was right, before Riyo then answered Greg. A few minutes that was it and then this would be other one way or another and whilst Brooke understood what he was saying. Part of her couldn't help but hope that she could deliver the baby as she had wanted. Then again as long as he or she was healthy then that's all that mattered. " How do I know if it's working? ... because right now all I'm feeling is a really uncomfortable pressure, like I have to move" she admitted, seeing no point in lying considering what was about to happen.

[Gregory Ellis - Sickbay]Greg swallowed as the Doctor's words echoed through his head. Despite the other man's reassuring smile, which he absolutely appreciated, Greg was still on the highest of internal alerts. Hormones, fetal transport, distress... They were all conjuring up fears and concerns, the strength of which he'd never experienced before. When Brooke began to talk about feeling the need to move, he looked back to her. "Perhaps we can walk?" He glanced toward the Doctor, wondering if he was being ridiculous. He'd seen footage of those in labour pacing through halls of course, but Paawin had just said the birth could be minutes away. "Would that help?"

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Sickbay]Riyo considered the questions for a moment, his gaze focused on the monitor. "A short lap around Sickbay could be beneficial. But if the contractions get stronger and you suddenly feel the need to push, speak up." It was possible the walk would help the baby shift into the proper position. Moving to one side of the biobed, he gave Greg a nod to let him know it was okay for him to help his wife get off the biobed. He reached out his own arm to let her grab onto him if it would help her steady herself as she moved.

[ Brooke - Primary Sickbay] Brooke had never felt pressure like it before and unlike the feeling you got when you had stayed in the same position for too long, this was well different. Then again the whole pregnancy had been filled with sensations and experiences that were all new to her and Greg and this was just going be one of the last. Her mind was jumbled and still processing everything but when Greg suggested that they could go for a walk, Brooke answered him through renewed deep breathing thanks to the contractions. " Yes if we can" she replied, before Greg asked if it would help. Having no idea if it would or not, Brooke was willing to try anything at this point to relieve the pressure, aware of what could happen if the baby decided to arrive when he or she wanted rather than let nature continue on it's proper path. When they were given the green light on the condition that she speak up, should she feel the need to push. Brooke wasn't going to argue with that as she responded to what Riyo had said. " I will".Shifting slightly so she could be helped properly, Brooke hoped that this would work and that Baby Ellis would behave themselves.

[Gregory Ellis - Sickbay]Once he got the nod from the Doctor, Greg stood and prepared to help Brooke down off the biobed. Beforehand though, he carefully placed the PADD, which was pinging incessantly with replies from either Lucas or Felicity - he wasn't sure yet, and Brooke's music down on the chair he'd just vacated. "Okay, one lap," he said, trying to sound reassuring to both the patient and the doctor. He took his wife's weight easily, and with Paawin on the other side it wasn't long before everyone was upright. "Let's take the scenic route. See if we can guess what everyone's in for." Then he blushed and glanced apologetically at Dr. Paawin. It was something he'd done since he was a young boy whenever he'd found himself with time to kill in a Sickbay.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Sickbay]Once Brooke was on her feet and steadied between him and Greg, they made their way out of the private room and into the main Sickbay. Hearing the other man's comment about the other patients, Riyo chuckled softly. "As long as you're not expecting a confrmation, there's nothing wrong with guessing." Well, other patients might find it a bit rude, but there were no rules against such things so long as Riyo didn't respond. That wouldn't be a problem, since not only was his attention focused on his own patient and any possible sign that her labor was progressing, but he also didn't know why most of the others were there since his shift had ended a few hours prior.

[ Brooke - Primary Sickbay] Standing upright again as opposed to lying down was well a little strange for Brooke, as gravity returned to normal. Grateful to both Greg's and Riyo's assistance as she would have definitely struggled if left to her own devices. The pressure that she had felt didn't seem so bad now and knew that despite the earlier prognosis, she was doing the right thing rather than just stay immobile. " Okay one lap" she confirmed, thinking that would probably be more than enough to hopefully help things along. Now also wasn't the time to be stubborn and insist that she could walk by herself because quite frankly every step hurt like hell and holding onto both men was the better option. Nor did she feel any embarrassment at being seen in just a gown as they left the private room after Greg made his comment about taking the scenic route and making guesses, before looking apologetically towards Riyo. Another reason why she loved this man and how he was being him whilst providing a much welcomed distraction. Riyo didn't take any offence either as he chuckled and told them that they could guess as long as they didn't want those guesses to be confirmed. " Deal ... ow sorry just getting used to being on my feet again".

[Gregory Ellis - Sickbay]"Guessing is the fun part," he assured the Doctor. The harsh reality was usually a harsh of the buzz. "We'll keep it to a whisper." With that promise, and his arm still offered to Brooke, he was ready to begin their strange stroll.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Sickbay]As they began their walk, Riyo let Brooke set the pace. They received a few curious glances from others in the room, but with exception of the nurse asking Riyo if he needed help, no one bothered them. The Bajoran kept his attention focused on his patient, aware of any sudden changes in her posture or the grip on his arm that might indicate a progression of her labor. At least there were plenty of vacant biobeds at this time, in case they weren't able to get her back to the private room in time.

[ Brooke - Primary Sickbay] With Greg's equal reassurance given and thankful for the continued physical support from both her husband and Riyo. Brooke held onto both men as Greg then promised that they would keep any guessing to a whisper. " We will" she echoed, wincing slightly. Suddenly aware of how noisy Sickbay could be and the occasional curious looks that the unlikely trio received. Brooke tried to ignore everything apart from focusing on their guessing game and what her body was doing. Finding a likely candidate to start, Brooke had barely begun to say, " Looks like some nasty bite" in a hushed whisper, when a rather painful contraction, knocked her sick. Regretting the idea of moving and wishing that her body would make it's mind up as she fought the urge to vomit, Brooke managed to convey what was happening. " I think I'm going to be sick ... can we go back?, something doesn't feel right".Embarrassment, guilt and a wish for this to be over, were just some of the emotions that the Mother to Be felt as she fought another urge to cry.

[Gregory Ellis - Sickbay]Greg nodded his head in solemn agreement with Brooke's diagnosis. "I concur, Dr. Ellis," he muttered to her, making sure that nobody but the three of them could overhear, "I suggest amputation."Then Brooke took a turn, and he shot a worried glace toward the real doctor in the room. "Sure, sweetheart, let's go back to the biobed." Carefully he led her back toward her quiet corner of Sickbay while the next contraction struck.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Sickbay]Riyo couldn't help but grin slightly as he overheard their whispers about another patient. But he avoided looking over to see who they were talking about. It was easy enough to maintain focus when Brooke's demeanor suddenly shifted, and he stopped in his tracks and gestured for the nurse to join them. "Sounds like this baby is coming whether you're ready or not." There was a slight tone of urgency in his voice, and he was grateful they hadn't made it very far from the private room. The nurse went ahead of them as they started walking back, preparing to assist in getting Brooke situated on the biobed once more.

[ Brooke - Primary Sickbay] If she wasn't feeling as though she was going to vomit everywhere, Brooke would of answered her husband's subtle agreement and diagnosis, regarding the patient that she had picked. Although did manage a small chuckle, especially upon being called Doctor Ellis. Greg just knew how to make things better, even if she didn't feel her best right now. Thinking that she couldn't do this again, because this part was completely horrendous and not what she had thought it would be. When Greg then answered her about going back, Brooke leaned a little more into her husband's guiding hand, attempting to take deep breaths. Nope that was doing very little and all she wanted was to just lie down and hope that everything would stop spinning. Despite how she was currently feeling, Brooke did detect the urgency in Riyo's voice when the Doctor told them that the baby was coming. " Ok...ay " was her simple reply, focusing on getting back to the bed without making a complete fool of herself.

[Gregory Ellis - Sickbay]The panic sliced through him again, and he tightened his grip on Brooke. Together they returned to the relative privacy of her bed, all the while he was muttering what he hoped were words of calm encouragement. "Wouldn't be our baby if it wasn't an impatient for action sort," he pointed out, though the colour was draining from his face a little. Once Brooke was back on her biobed and as secure as she could be, he turned expectantly toward Dr. Paawin and the nurse. Unsure of what he was supposed to be doing, he just started doing the lamaze breathing he'd learned about in one of those parent classes.
